SOME MOD BREAKING ISSUES HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED SO FOR THE TIME BEING, MERCURY WILL REMAIN UNLISTED UNTIL A FIX IS FOUND! IF YOU HAVE TROUBLES WITH 0.0.7, WAIT UNTIL 0.0.8 IS RELEASED AS WE ARE ALREADY WORKING ON THE SOLUTION

Mercury Mod Manager aims to make installing mods simpler and centralized. The mod manager allows players to place UE4SS C++, LUA and Pak mods all in one directory. It also allows for mod loading orders and mod updates from within the game.

INSTALLATION

Prerequisites: Install the required mods found at the top of the description

Download the zip.

Extract the contents into your game root directory. IF YOU ARE ON GAMEPASS, YOU WILL NEED TO NAVIGATE TO THE WIN64 FOLDER AND MOVE THE MODS FOLDER FROM INSIDE IT TO YOUR WINGDK FOLDER!!!

Steam- Epic-

Then add MercuryModManager : 1 to the UE4SS mods.txt

Make sure you have no Mercury Compatible Mods in the UE4SS mods Folder then open the game once and quit. The mod manager should have created a "/Mercury/Mods" directory in the games root folder if it doesn't already exist. This folder is where the mod manager will mount and unmount paks from. Now you can add the Mercury Compatible Mods into the UE4SS mods folder.

Mods compatible with Mercury will be placed in the UE4SS Mods folder (typically at {GamePath}\PAYDAY3\PAYDAY3\Binaries\Win64 or {GamePath}\PAYDAY3\PAYDAY3\Binaries\WinGDK). The mod manager will detect these mods and mount them and manage the load order of them.

You can also manually place .pak mods into "/Mercury/Mods" directory to have them managed and mounted in Mercury's order, however these mods won't be checked by the download manager and won't show up as outdated.

When rearranging the load order list from within the game, the top of the list (mod index 0) is the mod with the highest priority

FOR MOD MAKERS

Checkout the Github repository as there is documentation on how to make your mod compatible and how to utilise the mod settings features

FOUND AN ISSUE?

This mod manager is still in its early stages of development, so expect there to be some issues.
If you have encountered any bugs, please leave a comment on here or an issue on the Github Issues section and detail what platform and system you are on, what the issue is and any steps required to replicate the issue. Attaching crash logs, be it UE4SS crash logs or UE4 crash logs, is a huge help when debugging your issue.

MAKE SURE ANY PROGRAMS THAT HANDLE PAK MODS, LIKE FMODEL, ARE CLOSED BEFORE LAUNCHING THE GAME

STEPS FOR TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue: Just installed Mercury Mod Manager and opened the game but you still cant find the /Mercury/Mods path.

Possible Solutions:

Update UE4SS to v3.01
Temporarily remove any Mercury Compatible mods from .../Binaries/{Win64 or WinGDK}/Mods (for example Modded Heist Selection Menu or No Masks Reworked. Open the game and close it. Then add your mods back.

Issue: Mods that require Logic Mod Loader are not loading with Mercury Mod Manager.

Possible Solutions:

This is currently a known bug, some users are finding that some mods aren't loading with Mercury.
To fix this for the time being, simply take the pak from the mod folder and move it to the ~mods folder.
We are working on debugging this and solving the issue for the next update

COMING SOON!

We are still updating and developing Mercury.

Currently we have plans on adding;

Improvements to the visual style (as of 0.0.5 it is just using placeholder UI)
Disabling pak mods from within the game
Improvements to how pak reloading and hotswapping works (as of 0.0.5 it is still only works for only a handful of assets)
Backend improvements to code and making it more efficient
A system for making Mercury auto update itself
Mount paks from directly within the UE4SS mods folder so that /Mercury/Mods will no longer be needed and move hotswapped pak directory watcher to ~mods instead
Support for updating NexusMods mods
Modsettings added to the in-game HUD escape menu

If you have any ideas or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment.
Or if you are a capable c++ or UE Blueprint dev and would like to contribute, feel free to fork the source and PR any adjustments you make.

PAYDAY 3 Modding will only improve if we all work together to advance :D
